Top SchoolNurhan Turgut is a Staff Software Engineer based in Mountain View with six years of industry experience and a longer track record of shipping web and mobile systems across startups and Big Tech.

Nurhan blends front-end expertise with backend and mobile systems, having built customer portals, social apps, and server architectures earlier in his career. Colleagues know him for tackling subtle UI/UX edge cases (e.g., cross‑browser selection and iOS text field positioning) that materially improve product polish. He holds an MSCS from UT Austin and brings a pragmatic, hands-on approach to scaling user-facing features and developer-friendly engineering. Quietly detail-oriented, he often surfaces problems users barely notice until they’re fixed.
